I've been evaluating and building out small prototypes with all the usual suspects for backend Rust work. So far I've reluctantly agreed with the hive mind that Axum on balance is the best choice, despite being lower-level than I'd like.
Other contenders were Loco (but was TOO much like Rails) and Rocket (whose macros only started to bother me after writing more Rust).
Your framework seems to perfectly match my criteria of "batteries-included, but not too prescriptive". Great addition to the ecosystem!
What about Actix? There were some discussion on HN a while back related to Actix vs Axum if I recall that.
I would love it if you could link that
